You are the Calm, and the Thunder in the Storm of Life.
You are a flickering light,
A brisk wind in the Night.
You are the Soothing Voice in the face of brash reality.
You are the laughter ringing from your Children.
Shared memories floating in time.
You are the rugged, loving presence embedded in the lessons of our past.
You are the lone wolf baying at the moon.
Confessions of your soul, unknown.
You are the Smooth shot of Whiskey with a friend that burns deep inside.
Your life is a Kaleidoscope of colors.
A spark within the souls of those whom you roam.
Not always sure of Right or Wrong.
You are the Spirit Walker.
Now in the place between reality and dream.
You are an eagle soaring.
You are the beating of the dreams.
You are the rain.
You are the clearest of skies.
You are the echo of Freedom.
May you ride the endless road to Heaven.
On the highway of Forever.
